Selena Gomez is the best big sister! The pop star posted a heartwarming
sister moment with her young half-sibling
Gracie Elliot Teefey to her
Instagram on Oct. 17. The star revealed the beautiful bond she shares with her
sister, despite their age difference.

The former Disney star is known for being passionate about raising
girls’ confidence, having been no stranger to the struggles of low self-esteem
herself. Therefore, Selena wants to make sure that her four-year-old sister grows up without
fear.

In the video, Gracie is heard saying, “I’m not scared.” In response, the
25-year-old says firmly, “I know, because you’re fearless, right? You’re not
scared of anything, right?” It’s an empowering and important message to receive
from
Selena, who also has another half-sister, Victoria Gomez, 3.

The “Same Old Love” singer continued her inspirational message in the
caption of the photo: “I will
forever let my sister know she is strong, bold and beautiful. She will be raised
to know her voice matters. She is going to understand the importance behind
being a leader and inspire others by her truth.”

The post struck a chord with Selena’s loyal female followers. One
commenter wrote, “I love you so much! A true inspiration for your
little sister and every other girl,” while another gushed about the young
star, “She’s fearless and strong, just like you.”

After
an extended break from her career, due to severe anxiety and panic attacks in
the aftermath of her lupus diagnosis,
Selena has stepped back into the
limelight.

Her
words of wisdom come mere months after undergoing a life-changing kidney transplant, due to her two-year-long struggle with her diagnosis. The star is
paying it forward after her best friend
Francia Raisa, who she calls a sister,
gave up a kidney to give the star a better life. And, of course, Selena’s
boyfriend Canadian musician
The Weeknd was by
her side
through it all.
